This caused me to start singing my favorite lament "if I only had an arse".

It's true, I have a distinct lack of padding back there. Alas, alack.

Ha ha! The song that came to my mind was "Baby Got Back"! It's hard to believe white chicks in the 60s wanted to look like they had bigger badonkadonks!

*snickering* that's the ringtone on my phone for when my daughter calls me. Really!

LOL! My first thought was "what the hell? why?" but then I realized, oh, she's your baby and she got back to you. Aww!

Actually...it's twofold. First, she's got a big ol ghetto booty (her words) and a tiny waist. Second, she was 9 when the song came out and she thought it was hysterical, she could do the whole preface and the song too. So it's been a running joke in the family for years. (roughly 20 years now!)

I would go for the padding of the hips.

I am so there with you.

Me too. No junk in my trunk, I'm a freaking hatchback. I need me some hips too,

HUH. I guess the booty-pop thing isn't a new idea after all .____.

I was just going to mention that!

(I work nights and I see those commercials all the time.)

So it's so tight that it squeezes all ya got into your ass area.

Must be fun in a public restroom every time you have to pee--which would be often with that thing squeezing ya down

If it's anything like The Spanx, they're crotchless.

You know Drag Queens were probably their largest market share on those.

I recognized the Frederick's artist's usual disdain for proper waists before I read the entry title, but then I saw the real photo for model E. Apparently, those drawings are accurate, but a trick of perspective, caused by a 20" waist being padded with 50+" fake hips.

Is it sad that I would love some, but I also want a bum roll and bustle...

Huh. I was just thinking, this is *so* opposite to today's advertising. "Lose weight on your hips, buns and thighs!", "Magic pants take inches off in seconds!", "Clever gel that you rub in for 40 minutes ensures cellulite and centimeter loss!".

And here they want to ADD the padding. I should have been around in the 60s, I have all the padding you need and a bit more...

I'd need more padding on top to be able to balance that out. :-( Yeah, I know, Frederick's has that too.

I'd be so scared to go to bed with a guy for the first time, and have him realize that it was all "false advertising!"

I always wondered about that. Reminds me of a funny scene in a movie in which a gorgeous woman seduces a guy and it turns out she's almost completely prosthetics. I think only her bald head was left by the time she finished undressing. I want to say it was "A Low Down Dirty Shame," but I'm not sure.

I think the movie is "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka" with Keenan Ivory Wayans.

Why would anyone want to pad their hips and butt? Unless you're a man wanting to dress as a woman...

Although I did see in The Prince of Tides where Barbra Streisand wore butt pads during the scene where she and her married boyfriend went to the lake house and he carried her around.

But then, that whole movie was all about Barbra.

Well, if a woman is a stick shape with no curves, or else shaped like me (top heavy, no waistline, no hips, no ass), she'll want to pad things out to make a skirt look right. I look horrific in skirts and dresses because they just hang from the boobs down.
